"Returning from an extended hiatus, I’m glad to see Dave’s Chillin N Grillin has reopened in Highland Park with new digs just off Figueroa Boulevard inside the redone Frank’s Camera building. The pared-back storefront shares space with the new Chops Meat and Fish butcher and sits near the speakeasy-style haircut shop and cocktail bar Blind Barber; the building also holds the soon-to-open Spanish tapas restaurant Otoño. Thankfully the menu is much the same as ever, featuring eclectic sandwiches like the surf-and-turf — a grilled pastrami and tuna salad combo — that’s proven popular over the years, with chips, drinks, and sides also available. Soft opening hours start today at 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., expanding to 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. during the week and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday (closed Sundays)." - Farley Elliott
